Songtext zu ' Did Me Wrong ' von CocoRosie

Black and white, whole universe
White and black, paddywhack
Paddy cake, what's my little baby's fate?
Saw her name on the grave, didn't even misbehave
Never got to be a lover slave
Save her letters and her tears
Bad luck, broken mirrors
Daddy didn't want a queer, more than CIA he feared
Brittany speared, made a monster, hiding in the zoo
Ate the keeper, singing opera, there was nothing left to do

I say hello and you've got me all aflame
You say mellow and my water's cool again
You say come on and my heart is beating fast
You say get off, get me off before I crash

Talk me down low, to the ground
I'm feeling blue, I never knew a love like this
I recognized his faceless face
Like a wound that won't erase
Like a tomb for me to groom
Switchin' on my granny's broom
This house I kept sheen and swept
He meant no harm

But boy did he do me wrong
Boy you did me wrong
But boy you get me off
Boy you did me wrong
But boy you get me off

And so it goes
Another horror show of vows
Begotten, love forgotten
Side of the road, smashed up like kill
Love not to feel
Drag me up off the floor
One last dance, another chance is stolen
Heart swollen shut
Momma's old baby girl rut
Praying for daddy to come home
Handed down blues, every shade, every hue
I beg our lady for the new
'Cause there's nothing left to do

I say hello and you've got me all aflame
You say mellow and my water's cool again
You say come on and my heart is beating fast
You say get off
Boy you get me off
Boy you get me off
Boy you get me off
Boy you get me off
